Key notes
Video streamingservice Sling TV is owned and distributed by Dish Network. From a functional point of view, the two entities are interdependent, meaning that Sling TV subscribers don’t need a Dish Network account to use the streaming service.
However, whenever the network operator experiences transmission issues, these also replicate with the streaming service.
This is why if there’s a network error, Sling TV users will specifically see a message that says that there’s a Dish Network Error.
What can I do to solve the Sling TV dish network error?
1. Perform a power cycle
Switch off all your devices (including modem and router) and fully unplug them. Wait a few minutes, then plug them back in and switch them back on and see if the error still appears. This should re-establish the connection with servers and fix any power supply issues (if any).
Usually, a power cycle helps and there’s no need for furthertroubleshooting.
However, if the problem persists try the next solution.
2. Check Internet connection
3. Contact support
First, you might want to check on social media if Sling TV reported some streaming issues.
Then, you can contact SlingTVsupport, but since this is a Dish Networkerror, they might redirect you to theprovider’s support page.
If you have received the same error when trying to stream on SlingTVand found a more specific fix, please share it with us in the comments section below.
